This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

This activity shows you how to make a mold terrarium using a jar and leftover food.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity about osmosis, learners use a naked egg (one with a dissolved eggshell) to learn about selectively permeable membranes.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.

Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique.
